I was thinking some of our SE England lot would've maybe been here (even though it's not SE England).

There's some cannon on the green in the background, and you can often smell hops and malt in the air.

Google's AI confidently states:

The bridge in the image is the Konobashi Bridge (子延橋) located in Iga, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is not a bridge located in Alabama.
So there's that.

The location was Big Basin Redwoods State Park, which is still recovering from the wildfire that swept through in 2020. We stopped there to stretch our legs during Classico Moto Italia in May.

Gotcha. It seemed like there were a lot of 1920s-era bridges up in that area. Lived in Huntsville for a decade. Wish I'd done more riding while I was there.

Racking my brain a bit here. Assuming Old 431, since stopping for a pic on new 431 could be dicey. New Hope area? Flint River crossing?


EDIT: New Hope Highway, crossing the Paint Rock River:

That is a nice ride. I used to live off Little Cove Rd, in Owen's Crossroads. My buddy still lives in Ryland. We'd occasionally go to Moontown Airport to check out experimental aircraft. Riding Keel Mountain was fun, but one of my favorite bits was the Crow Mountain Hillclimb route.

Take Tupelo Pike (County 21) from Scottsboro about 12.5 miles north until you hit County 33. Take a left on 33. It's about five miles to the County 111 junction; that's the start of the climb. It's a ziggy little bit of road up to Clemons Point that settles after two miles and brings you back west to State 79 between Hytop and Skyline.

Here's a Google map link if you're interested:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/qkggGepANW4y7rA49

If you don't want to take 79 south to 72, you can take County 17 west out of Skyline for about 3.75 miles and take a right onto County 8. That's a nice little run back down to Woodville.
